I don't think they're allowed to do that.

This is a really nice story, except what kind of knife was it? That's what we all want to know, right?

I live probably 50 miles from the coast but I used to live about a mile from the ocean and you betcha I would be down at the beach looking for a tagged horseshoe crab if I was still there.

I blame capitalism. Ruins everything.

I really want to share this cartoon but it needs alt-text and it's past my bedtime, so I promise I will do alt-text for it tomorrow.

Time to rally and beat Susan Collins' deeply concerned ass

game recognize game.

Nothing particularly unusual in someone remarking that the idea of someone being a trillionaire is obscene, but I think it's noteworthy coming from Mitt because I remember Mitt as the guy who said "corporations are people." Probably not the first, but he made the phrase and the idea familiar.

Of course this will happen.

By way of contrast with my previous repost, this is not the way to do it.

This is the right way to do it. Platner fooled a lot of good people.

One kind of amusing result of living in a post-truth world is that nobody believes that Scott Jennings had a 20-minute chat with Mitch McConnell. Nobody even considers the possibility. We all know he's lying.

Platner is an ideal candidate if you consider that he is a fake everyman with violent, regressive values, no apparent sense of shame, white supremacist ink, and no apparent leadership ability. He's what you'd get if you asked Grok to build you a Dem to run for a seat in Maine.

Early morning press conference at the Whitehouse.

OK, I am not going to try to become an expert on Maine progressive politics right now, I wish them all the best.

I can't believe anybody would try to make a case that Terry Pratchett would have been a transphobe. No, he wouldn't. Just no. Wtf is wrong with some people?

not bitter but next thanksgiving I’m calling them freedom sprouts

the Belgian mind could not comprehend the Philly special

Graham Platner’s history of sexual assault proves he does not belong in the US Senate. He belongs on the Supreme Court. by Susan Collins

the jig is up oyster boy, turn in your mustache and your flannel

Platner is toast and ME Dems have the rare opportunity to take a mulligan. Anybody out there know anything about ME Dem candidates?

I have no imagination and I have to go to bed now, but this question is too good not to share.

I know some of you guys are #mineralcup #MinCup26 devotees. Here's an opportunity to nominate your favorite mineral and explain why it's better than other minerals.

News of the week in review. And in spite of how you remember it, it was not all bad.

If this is true -- a very big if -- it is surely how McConnell would have wanted to go: exploiting the timing of the death of major figures (Scalia, RBG) for cynical partisan gain.

Thank fucking god Biden kept the password to the weather machine

I hadn't even thought of this explanation, but I gotta say it's plausible.

Shout out to the ANTIFA Weather Control teams.

mother nature, i see you

I'll bet that hurt, but the guy was lucky that canopy was there. He's OK, at least as far as bodily health is what we're talking about.

This is not about you guys who are reading this, you guys are fine, this is just a general suggestion: if you have an opinion that you need to share about Taylor Swift today, take a minute and ask yourself if that's really something you need to have an opinion about.

@catsofyore.bsky.social Did you see this?

my july 4th tshirt arrived just in time and it’s perfect

I might have reposted this already, but just in case:

It's kind of interesting to see which Government agencies didn't get fed into the DOGE wood chipper. Little remnants of the Before Times.

HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GO

Also, why is Amazon showing me sponsored ads for replacement driver's side door handles for a 2002 Ford Econoline? Is anyone else getting those ads? I don't drive one of those.

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

In the past two days I have received 4 emails asking for political money using the phrase "last-ditch" and these are probably candidates I could support but it's depressing that they are all buying the same campaign advice from some generic campaign oracle. Stop doing that, good candidates.

Yeah, I wish we could go back to the days when it was commonly understood that there's a difference between good and bad. I'm not sure where we lost that.

Heard this on the radio this morning and really disappointed in NPR, this is basic stuff and they need to get this right.

Jesus. It just keeps going up and more up.

When they said, "wear a suit," I just assumed…  Find a public pool near you at nycgovparks.org.

I wish I could get these people to understand the difference between an economic system and a system of government. The purpose of a government is not to maximize profit for anyone, it is to establish justice and promote the general welfare. Governing is not a business.

ITS COBBLERIN TIME

just finished my design for a shrimp powered air conditioner. now to take a sip of coffee and check out bluesky

Guys like this who are absolutely sure that they can speak for all men are a different species from me, there's just no way I can force my brain to believe that everyone agrees with me.

I want to see every D candidate sign this pledge.

I will never pass up an opportunity to ridicule a Cybertruck, but this one is special.
